The following describes a game running method, device, equipment, medium and cloud game platform of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The features of the following examples and embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
The present disclosure provides a game running method, which is applied to a cloud game server, wherein a plurality of games are installed on the cloud game server, a user can request the cloud game server through a client, and the client can be a smart phone, a computer, a tablet computer, a smart television, and the like. Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a game running method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the game running method includes the following steps 101 to 103:
step 101, starting a first game according to a starting request of the first game sent by a client.
In step 101, a user may select to start a first game through a client and send a start request to a cloud game server, and the cloud game server may receive a request of the client to start the first game and start the first game based on the start request.
And 102, rendering the game picture of the first game into a video frame, and sending the video frame to the client in a video stream mode.
In step 102, after the cloud game server locally starts the first game, the game screen displayed by the first game may be rendered into a video frame, and the video frame is transmitted in a video stream manner and correspondingly transmitted to the client requesting to start the first game, that is, the client receives the video stream of the first game screen and plays and presents the video stream to the user, instead of the client running the first game. Compared with the prior art that a user needs to install and run a game at a client, the client of the present disclosure may not require better graphics operation and data processing capabilities.
And 103, receiving an operation instruction of the client to the video frame, rendering a next frame of video frame according to the operation instruction, and sending the next frame of video frame to the client.
In step 103, the game screen received by the client is a video, and operations performed on the video frame by the user may be received, however, the operations are not responded on the client, the client sends an operation instruction to the cloud game server, and the cloud game server performs a corresponding operation on the first game running on the cloud game server according to the received operation instruction. After the corresponding operation is executed, the cloud game server renders the game picture changed by the first game into a next frame of video frame, and sends the next frame of video frame to the client so that the client can display the operated game picture.
In one possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the operation instruction and the video stream are transmitted through different transmission channels. Therefore, the operation instruction and the video stream are transmitted in independent transmission channels, the transmission speed can be improved, and the time delay of the cloud game server for responding to the received operation instruction and feeding back the game picture to the client is reduced.
In one possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the operation instruction is transmitted with the video stream through a high speed network. Thus, the transmission speed can be further increased to reduce the delay.
In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, before sending the video frame to the client, the method further includes: and adding a virtual handle icon to the video frame. When the client is a device with a touch screen (such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, and the like), a user can touch the touch screen through a finger to generate a touch signal, and an operation instruction received by the client is the touch signal. In order to facilitate the user to distinguish which positions on the touch screen can trigger the operation instructions and which types of operation instructions can be triggered, the cloud game server adds the virtual handle icon to the video frame when rendering the game picture into the video frame.
For example, the virtual handle icon may include an icon of an operation direction change; as another example, the virtual handle icon may include an icon to operate a game function; as another example, the virtual handle icon may include an icon to operate a game setting.
In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the start request carries an entity handle connection identifier, and the method further includes: and determining whether a virtual handle icon is added in the video frame or not according to whether the entity handle connection identifier is in a connection state or not. Generally, the physical handle has specific physical keys to prompt the user which types of operation instructions can be triggered by the keys. When the entity handle connection identifier acquired by the cloud game server is in a connection state, the virtual handle icon is not added to the video frame when the game picture is rendered into the video frame. When the entity handle connection identifier acquired by the cloud game server is in an unconnected state, a virtual handle icon can be added to a video frame when a game picture is rendered into the video frame. The physical handle can be a game handle, a keyboard, a mouse, a television remote controller and other devices.
In the above method provided by the present exemplary embodiment, the cloud game server is installed with various games, the user can select a first game to be played through the client, and send a request for starting the first game to the cloud game server, the cloud game server receives the start request of the client and starts the first game, the cloud game server renders a game screen displayed after the first game is started into a video frame and transmits the video frame to the client in a video stream manner, the client receives the video stream, the user can send an operation instruction related to the game on the client according to the game screen presented by the video stream, the cloud game server executes a corresponding operation in the first game in operation according to the received operation instruction, and renders a screen of the first game after the operation into a next video frame to be sent to the client, the user can then get feedback on the client. Therefore, the game is not required to be installed on the personal terminal of the user but installed on the cloud game server, the user can start the game only by accessing the cloud game server through the client, the space memory of the personal terminal of the user can be greatly released, and the personal terminal is not required to have better performance.
The cloud game server has higher performance relative to a personal computer, can run calculation quickly, has stronger load capacity, and can support a plurality of clients to access simultaneously and respond to the requests of the clients to run games simultaneously in order to utilize the cloud game server as much as possible.
In one possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the cloud game server includes a plurality of independent memory spaces, and one memory space is used for running a game requested to be started by a specific client. The cloud game server can divide a plurality of independent memory spaces, one designated client uses one memory space, or each memory space only serves one designated client in the period of the client requesting access to the cloud game server, and the cloud game server responds to the starting request of one designated client in one memory space to start the game. Because each memory space is relatively independent, the cloud game server responds to the request of each client in each memory space, and the memory spaces can not be influenced by each other. Therefore, when a plurality of clients request to start the same game, the cloud game server can start the game in the corresponding memory spaces.
Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a game running method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and this embodiment provides an exemplary description of how a cloud game server allocates a memory space to a client based on the foregoing embodiment. As shown in fig. 2, the game running method includes the following steps 201 to 207:
step 201, receiving login information of a client in a specified application, wherein the login information is an identifier of a user account of the client logging in the specified application, and the specified application is an application providing cloud game service.
In step 201, the client may install a specific application providing the cloud game service, and the client may communicate with the cloud game server based on the specific application. The user can register a user account on the specified application through the client to acquire the cloud game service.
When a user logs in a user account of the user in a specific application through a client, the client sends login information to a cloud game server, the login information can identify that the user of the client logs in the specific application by using the user account, the login information can include the user account and also can include any one or more of information such as a user IP address, login time and login state, and the disclosure is not particularly limited. The cloud game server receives the login information, can show that the user is in a login state at present, and can show that the user has the intention of requesting the cloud game service.
In one possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the cloud game server receiving the login information of the client may be a cloud game server that is connected to the client and is used when the client requests the cloud game service last time.
In one possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the cloud game server receiving the login information of the client may be a fixed cloud game server allocated when the user of the client registers the user account.
In one possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the cloud game server receiving the login information of the client may be a cloud game server in an area where the client is currently located.
Step 202, detecting whether a memory space in an idle state exists at present; if yes, executing steps 204 to 207; otherwise, step 203 is executed.
In step 202, the number of the plurality of memory spaces of the cloud game server is limited, or the number of clients that the cloud game server can support to provide services is limited, so that when the login information of the client is received, the cloud game server detects whether the cloud game server has a memory space in an idle state at present, and can provide the client corresponding to the login information for connection and use.
Step 203, sending the login information to other cloud game servers in the cloud game server cluster, so that the other cloud game servers start the first game based on the start request of the client.
In step 203, the cloud game server detects that the current memory spaces of the cloud game server are all in a non-idle state, that is, when the login information of the client is received, other clients are connected to use the memory spaces, and an idle memory space cannot be provided for the client to connect to use, so that the login information of the client is forwarded to other cloud game servers in the cloud game server cluster, so that the other cloud game servers provide services.
It should be understood that the cloud game service is provided by a cloud game server cluster, the cloud game server cluster comprises a plurality of cloud game servers, each cloud game server can be provided with a plurality of games, and the cloud game service can be provided for a large number of clients. When the memory space of one cloud game server is used, the memory space is transferred to other cloud game servers to provide service.
In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the cloud game server may forward the login information of the client to other cloud game servers in the area where the client is currently located. Therefore, communication links between other cloud game servers and the client can be reduced, and communication delay is reduced.
In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, before the cloud game server sends the login information to other cloud game servers in the area where the client is currently located, the cloud game server may first inquire whether the other cloud game servers have a memory space in an idle state.
And if at least one other cloud game server in the current area responds that the memory space in the idle state exists, the cloud game server sends the login information to one responding cloud game server.
If the other cloud game servers in the area where the client is currently located do not have the memory space in the idle state, the cloud game server can inquire the cloud game servers in other areas adjacent to the area where the client is currently located so as to forward the login information to the cloud game servers in the adjacent areas to provide services. Therefore, communication links between other cloud game servers and the client can be reduced as much as possible, and communication delay is reduced.
For example, a beijing user logs in a designated application through a client, the client sends login information of the user to one of cloud game servers in the beijing area, if the cloud game server does not have a free memory space currently, the client inquires whether other cloud game servers in the beijing area have a free memory space or not so as to be preferentially transferred to the other cloud game servers in the beijing area for providing service, and if the other cloud game servers in the beijing area do not have a free memory space currently, the cloud game server inquires whether the cloud game server in the hebeijing area has a free memory space or not so as to be transferred to the cloud game server in the hebeijing area for providing service.
Step 204, allocating a memory space in an idle state to the client, and receiving a starting request of the first game sent by the client in the memory space.
In step 204, the cloud game server detects that at least one memory space in an idle state exists at present, may allocate an idle memory space to the client sending the login information, may provide a service in the memory space, and receives a start request of a first game sent by the client, so as to start and run the first game in the memory space.
Due to the memory space allocated by the cloud game server, all games associated with the user account may not be installed before. In one possible embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining that the client is in the memory space of the cloud game server and before starting the first game, the method further includes: and loading all games related to the user account in the memory space. And after determining the memory space allocated to the client, the cloud game server pulls the allocated memory space of all games related to the user account of the client, and loads and installs the memory space. Thus, the requested game can be started quickly in accordance with the start request of the client.
In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the memory space of the cloud game server may reserve all games associated with one user account within a set time period, or, when one user account is allocated to one memory space for the first time to be connected and used, and the user account is disconnected for use, the cloud game server may not immediately unload all games associated with the user account, but reserve all games associated with the user account within the set time period. Therefore, if the user account is allocated to the same memory space again in the set time period, the cloud game server does not need to load and install all games related to the user account, the processing process of the cloud game server can be simplified, the running speed of the cloud game server is increased, the client can be responded quickly, and the user experience is improved.
Step 205, according to a starting request of a first game sent by a client, starting the first game.
Step 206, rendering the game picture of the first game into a video frame, and sending the video frame to the client in a video stream mode.
And step 207, receiving an operation instruction of the client to the video frame, rendering a next frame of video frame according to the operation instruction, and sending the next frame of video frame to the client.
Steps 205 to 207 are the same as the related art in steps 101 to 103, and are not described herein again.
In a possible implementation manner of the present disclosure, the user account may also be a player account of all games provided by the cloud game service, that is, a user account used for logging in a cloud game service application, and may also be a player account of all games provided by the cloud game service. Therefore, the condition that a user needs to register a player account when playing a game can be avoided, the user can conveniently memorize and manage the accounts, and the user experience is improved.
In one possible embodiment of the present disclosure, before starting the first game, the method further includes: loading the player data of the user account in the first game in the memory space; the step of initiating the first game comprises: initiating the first game based on the player data. After acquiring a start request of a first game sent by a client, a cloud game server loads player data, such as player information, player equipment, game progress of a player and the like, of a user account of the client in the first game, so that when the cloud game server starts the first game, the cloud game server can quickly log in the player account and can also quickly load the current game progress of the user account.
It should be understood that, when the cloud game server receives a quit request of the first game sent by the client, current game data, such as game progress, game duration and the like, of the user account of the client may be saved, and then the first game is quitted.
In addition, when the user exits the designated application, the cloud game server can detect that the connection with the client is disconnected, and therefore the cloud game server can change the state of the memory space allocated to the client into an idle state, so that the memory space is allocated to other clients to be served.
In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the cloud server may store the game and the related data loaded by the client in the memory space within a set time period. Therefore, if the client is allocated with the same memory space again within the set time period, the existing and related data of the client do not need to be loaded again. If the client is not allocated to the same memory space again within a set time period, the cloud game server may delete the game and the related data loaded by the client to release the memory space.
It can be understood that, if the same memory space is allocated to the client again within the set time period, the cloud game service is provided to the client again, and the set time period can be recalculated when the client goes offline.
In the method provided by the exemplary embodiment shown in fig. 2, when a user logs in an application of a cloud game service through a client, the cloud game server may receive login information of the client, allocate a free memory space for the client to subsequently start running a cloud game, and if the cloud game server detects that there is no free memory space, forward the login information of the client to other cloud game servers in the cloud game server cluster, so that the other cloud game servers allocate the free memory space to provide the service. Therefore, when a user logs in the application of the cloud game service through the client, the cloud game server and the memory space which provide the service are well distributed and determined, the waiting time of starting the game in subsequent requests of the user can be reduced, and the user experience is improved.
The cloud game server can support various types of clients to be accessed and used, and the clients can be smart phones, computers, tablet computers, smart televisions and the like. The operating systems used by the different types of clients are not necessarily the same, and may include, but are not limited to, the following: android (android) systems, apple (ios) systems, Microsoft (Windows) systems, and so on. Various games installed on the cloud game server can also have game versions supporting different operating systems.
In a possible implementation manner of the present disclosure, the start request carries client system information, and the step of starting the first game includes: and starting the game version of the first game adapted to the system of the client according to the client system information. The cloud game server can be provided with various versions of games, the starting request sent by the client can carry client system information, when the starting request of the first game sent by the client is received, the client system information is obtained, and the appropriate game version of the first game is started based on the operating system of the client. Therefore, the corresponding game version can be started aiming at the operating system of the client, so that the rendered video frame can be adapted to the performance of the client, and the user experience is improved.
For example, if the obtained client system information indicates that the operating system of the client is a Windows system, the Windows version of the first game is started; if the obtained client system information is that the operating system of the client is an android system, an android version of the first game can be started through an android virtualizer; if the obtained client system information is that the operating system of the client is an apple system, the apple version of the first game can be started through the apple virtualizer.
However, there are also games that may support only one game version. In one possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the rendering the game screen of the first game as a video frame includes: and rendering the game picture of the first game into a video frame adapted to the system resolution of the client according to the client system information. Therefore, if the operating system of the client which sends the starting request of the first game is inconsistent with the system supported by the game version of the first game, the cloud game server can render the game picture of the first game into a video frame which is adaptive to the resolution of the operating system of the client according to the acquired system information of the client, so as to adapt to the performance of the client and improve the user experience.
It is to be appreciated that the client system information can include one or more of the following: operating system type, client model, display screen resolution, client capabilities, and the like.
In addition, some games can support multiple game versions, but the player accounts in the game versions are independent and not universal, for example, the player information and the game progress of the same player account in an android system, an apple system and a Windows system are different.
In a possible implementation manner of the present disclosure, the start request carries game version selection information, and the step of starting the first game includes: and starting the corresponding game version of the first game according to the game version selection information. The cloud game server obtains game version selection information when receiving a starting request of the first game sent by the client, and starts the first game of the corresponding game version based on the selection of the user.
However, the system supported by the user-selected version of the game may not be consistent with the operating system of the client. In one possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of starting the first game includes: starting a corresponding game version of the first game according to the game version selection information; the rendering of the game screen of the first game into a video frame includes: and rendering the game picture of the first game into a video frame adapted to the system resolution of the client according to the client system information. In this way, the first game of the corresponding game version can be started according to the selection of the user, and the game picture of the first game is rendered into the video frame which is matched with the resolution of the operating system according to the operating system of the client. Therefore, the selection of the user can be met, and the performance of the client is adapted, so that the user experience is improved.
